A Drone for Exploring

Finally got one, and now that we have it, I wish we had gotten one sooner!  This thing is so fun, so easy to fly, and really expands many options in exploring the world.

One favorite has been to fly around all the large ships and fishing going on along the big river.  It is a bit freaky flying so far over the water... but worth it.

With an app showing what ships are passing by, we can run down and fly about them.

 Here is the Queen of the West from the air.

You can see video of her (and other big ships) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qln8n87UlxY

Night flying is also tricky, and unnerving.  Be sure to scout out all the power-lines and trees before going back at night!   Here's a rodeo practice going on at the Fairgrounds.

here is a race at the local race track.

So much fun.  All the new features and capabilities make this really easy to pick up and fly.  The 4K camera is especially awesome!

Stay tuned for some of the other modifications and projects...
